Here is that ultimate customisation guide I mention in the video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6qyYZSIZ72jm9k

[@TheTekEffect]

Did samsung remove the finger sensor gesture from the fold 5 because i can't find it and i love the gesture due to the scrolling down.

[@msgigi78]

Thank You

[@johnmerwin5442]

Hey love the phone jus got the phpne but i put my task bar to all apps and dont knpw how to reser that

[@beehives4343]

hey bro, may I know where did u buy that phone cover at 31:30 of your video? Thkz

[@ShakuniMamaKaRishtedaar]

Thank you very much for the excellent video. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 which is almost 5 years old and it's tiem to upgrade to a newer Samsung. My faithful Galaxy Note 9 has an S-Pen, the functionality of a Secure Folder (where I store all my banking apps and sensitive notes) and most importantly an external Micro SD card slot. The intrinsic memory of my Galaxy Note 9 is just 128 GB but I use an external memory card that gives me an additional 786 GB of extra space. The Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy S23 Ultra both have a S-Pen (a discrete S-Pen in Z Fold 5 is the biggest disadvantage I think, mainly because I tend to misplace small things). Could you please tell me which phone, the Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy S23 Ultra has Secure Folder and a slot to accommodate an external Micro SD Card to enhance the storage capacity? Thanks so much!

[@jebaker2]

I don't even have a Fold 5... but most of these tips are usable for any device on OneUI. Good video! 👍

[@user-he5fl9rg7h]

I've had my Z Fold 5 for a few days before finding your video, which was excellent. Within four minutes, your tips had massively improved how I interact with the device. I like the speed at which the information is delivered, and your calm, instructive VO. Thanks!

[@user-gz1se5wz5g]

I purchased on preorder and waited for this video ever since my fold arrived. Thank you😊😊😊

[@user-he5fl9rg7h]

Oh, and just to add at tip you might like. You said you liked the Swift key keyboard. You may also want to check out the GBoard optional keyboard, which has meaningfully changed the way I interact with the device. No longer do I have to switch keyboards between letters, numbers and symbols -- they're all on one split keyboard! True genius.

[@distantmyth]

Yesssssss Gboard is a minimal keyboard that is flawless in its execution! I have been using it for years, I cannot use another keyboard again. It's a bit plain, but works better than any other keyboard I've ever used.

[@adithyaherath2000]

You explained all of those features very well. If someone wants to setup his phone, only needs to do is follow this guidelines. Well done mate✌️

[@leemason666]

Amazing video. Just what I needed. Got my Z Fold 5 a few days ago and is my first samsung device after using Apple for the last 10 years. Just subbed to your channel 👏

[@WhatGear]

You are an official legend

[@PatmosGlykia]

Hey there….. I’ve had an Apple device for even longer and I’m thinking of switching to the fold… real nervous about it…. How’s it going with you so far?!

[@leemason666]

@PatmosGlykia had my Fold 5 for 2 weeks now and absolutely love it. Best decision I've ever made. No regrets.

[@robrider838]

As a previous iPhone owner I'm really glad I spent an hour with this video. The Fold 5 is an amazing device. After watching this I've gone from trying to use the Fold 5 like an iPhone, to becoming a Fold power user.

[@d3xkb3rry]

Thanks for this video! Just received my 5 and this has been super useful! Huge jump for me as a long time iphone user.

[@xstitched]

Nice tips. I'm still deciding if I want to drop the 2k for it. For me, step 1 for any phone or PC is to immediately change the sound from stereo to mono. As a unilaterally deaf person, being able to change this is a godsend - I can finally use headphones and still hear everything. (And yay for hearing aid streaming!)

[@switchingitup_]

Thank you for this amazing video. As a new fold user this has been amazing. Such an easy guide. Excited!🎉

[@sydjaguar]

Great video. Learnt a few features which I didn't know existed!

[@srinivasanranganathan7159]

Great video. Enjoyed the features and the versatility of Samsung Zfold 5.

[@rodneybrown3892]

You're tutorial was the most informant of I have ever seen clear, precise in easily understandable for older person like me.

[@zvonimirspehar4450]

Just ordered mine. Great video! I've upgraded from my 22+ and some of these features I didn't know even existed. I'll probably be very happy with my phone choice.

[@lowkeyjarie3237]

Switched to the fold 5 from an iphone 13 pro, two weeks ago, on my birthday. This video is amazing. Never had a samsung phone, but dont mind trying something different. My first phones were windows os, then went to ios in 2015. Total overhaul of my life, but this video has helped me significantly. I've spent more than an hour with it, as i have to pause, go customize or update something, then come back. I also got the classic 6 watch and am anticipating going through that video as well, to help me be a pro and not take for-ev-er trying to complete normal tasks.

[@hamzar7683]

Hi. I also have an iPhone 13 pro and looking forward to getting the Fold 5. May i please know how’s the battery life when compared with the iPhone 13 pro? Thanks.

[@XxHYDROxX]

I did the exact same thing I had a 13 pro got tired of all the apple hype for nothing it was the same phone wanted something different so got the z fold 5 kinda steamed the z fold 6 is supposedly coming out oh well I'm enjoying my fold so much lol

[@lowkeyjarie3237]

@@hamzar7683 Sorry for my delay. I've noticed it takes a tad longer to charge and I've run out of battery a couple of times, but I'm also not charging as consistently as I charged my iphone, particularly because of the bulky case I picked to hold the pen. However, I don't hate my phone choice and am not complaining daily about the battery life. I do complain daily about the watch battery because I was coming from a garmin forerunner and only charged once a week. 🤦‍♀️

[@lowkeyjarie3237]

@@XxHYDROxX I feel the same about the 6 coming out. But enjoying my current device while I have it.

[@XxHYDROxX]

@@lowkeyjarie3237 yeah I saw the 6 I was like really just when I got this one lol they are also planning on releasing the Samsung Z Roll, have you seen that one?

[@DoubleA923]

I'll be receiving mine today! Thanks for this 💯

[@mikeht7851]

I just got my z fold 5 and this was SUPER helpful. This phone is bonkers!

[@beardeddad74]

Great video. Getting my Fold 5 tomorrow and also ordered the Whitestone case. I’m coming the iPhone 14 Pro Max so this was helpful. Subscribed and cheers from Massachusetts USA!

[@cesartan6036]

wow! thanks for the lectures. very useful . easy to follow

[@AitchX]

Learnt a few bits and pieces that i'd of never even looked into if i didnt see this video! Many thanks.

[@janetwhitacre2027]

Such an amazing phone! Just changed from my S22 Ultra. Loved it a lot, but this is so cool! So glad I held out for the five!

[@syndyleadmon4455]

Had to add wow wow wow thanks again Syndy

[@dgthomas002]

Just got mine yesterday!!! And I'm not even halfway thru the video and it has made this phone even better!!! Thanks!

[@herkermerhomolka3603]

"unlock its full potential" and the first tips are changing the ring tone and changing the background? lol

[@CromemcoZ2]

Thanks! My Fold 5 just arrived. I'm moving from an ancient Samsung S8 to this, so really needed someone to explain the new features. :)

[@elliottd2010]

Thanks man for the useful video. Been with iPhone for a while, and my fold should be coming in the mail today.💪🏾

[@dr.harshkumar7162]

Thanks mate!! Super helpful..

[@thatoneguychad420]

[@benshapirohamburgerhelper1239]

Really helpful, thanks for making this guide

[@John-ep9kx]

Some good tips that I didn't know about even after using the fold 5 for a month.

[@denariusgal]

Finally, someone who discussed the edge panel in Fold 5. I see the feature to download additional panes in the galaxy store is not available on the Fold5. I'm so used to having the calendar and quick notes on the edge with my NoteUltra, but it's not present in fold 5?

[@bigsky445]

WONDERFUL! THANK YOU!

Brilliant! Thank you! 😎🤗🥂

Thinking about upgrading from my Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. As a lefthanded person, I want to thank you for noting that you can access the fingerprint scanner with your left index finger. I was trying to find an answer to whether I would be able to access that one handed since I use my left hand for everything. Your video was the first I saw that mentioned that. 😊

Thanks for the tip & tricks.. May i ask you how to change colour in touchpad's flex panel? Because i got white colour instead of dark

[@Brysonmcc]

While it's useful to change the base notification sound, I think it would be extremely helpful to include how to change individual App notification sounds. Seems like a simple concept to me, have your text notification different from your email notification, etc. However, the Android OS has this buried 6 layers deep in the OS!!!!!

[@Gaiametris]

good stuff

[@benjones5819]

[@brandoncreasap8196]

Why put the settings icon on the home screen? Just drag down notification drawer and it's always top right 😂

[@timmyg000420]

How did you get your Zedge on the Front folded screen? I can't seem to find how to.

[@LinasR]

Dolby Atmos is for decoding spacial audio to stereo speakers. Usually Netflix has stereo tracks too so no need to do any conversion

[@Little_Bitz]

The irony of you choosing Back to the Future as your notification is crazy. I've been using that sound for a year now. Good choice
